Part—B (5x 16 = 80 marks)
(Question No.14 is Compulsory)
44. A simply supported girder has a span of 40 m. A moving load consisting of a uniformly
distributed load of 1kN/m over a length of 8 m preceded by a concentrated load of 6 KN
moving at a fixed distance of 2 m in front of the distributed load crosses the girder. Using
influence line diagram, determine (i) the point on the beam at which the greatest bending
moment occurs (ii) the position of the load where it occurs and (iil) the value of the
greatest bending moment in the beam.
42. a) Acontinuous beam ABC is simply resting on supports A and C, and continuous over
the support 8. The span AB is 8 m and the span BC: is 6m. Draw the influence line
diagram for moment at the support B using Muller Breslau's principle. Assume flexural
rigidity is constant throughout the length and caloulate the influence line ordinates at
2m interval
(OR)
b) Draw influence line using Muller Breslau’s principle for vertical réaction at the
propped end of a propped cantilever of span 7 m. Calculate the influence line
ordinates at every 1 m interval.
43, a) A segmental circular symmetrical three hinged arch has a span of 20 m and central
rise of 5 m, hinged at both the ends and also at the crown. Draw the bending moment
diagram showing the maximum positive and negative bending moments when it is
subjected to a vertical downward point load of 20 KN at a horizontal distance 4 m
from the left hinge. Also determine the radial shear and normal thrust at_6 m from the
left support.b)

‘A two hinged parabolic arch has a span of 20 m and central rise of 4m. itis subjected
to a uniformly distributed load of 10 kNim over a length of 15 m from the left support.
Determine the horizontal thrust and draw the bending moment diagram.
‘A suspension bridge of span "|" has two three- hinged stiffening girders supported by
two cables one on each side with a central dip of "h". Draw influence line from first
principle with detailed explanation for (i) horizontal reaction for the cable and (ji) the
load intensity transmitted to the cable.
(OR)
Three bars of equal length 4m each are joined together at A and supported by hinges
at B, C and D as shown in Fig. Q 14 (b). Using tension coefficient method, determine
the axial forces induced in all bars due to a vertical load of 30 KN at A, if OB = OC =
oD=4m
Fig, Q 14 (b).
Determine the shape factor for a symmetrical T- section which is formed by two
rectangular plates of cross section 150 mm x 20 mm. Also find the plastic moment
capacity of the section if the yield stress of the material is 250 MPa.
(OR)
Determine the plastic moment capacity “M,” for the frame shown in fig.2.15(0). The
loads shown in the figure are the collapse loads.
